I've heard some people that the shield is too big for pocket carry. I'm here to tell you that you CAN pocket carry the Shield. I picked up a couple different pocket holster to try. Blackhawk #3 from Wal-Mart. The Shield fits, but's it's very snug and doesn't print well.
Next I picked up the Desantis Nemesis. It's for the Walther PPS which is a similar size to the Shield. Fit's perfect! Here are a few pics of how it prints in cargo shorts.Prints like a wallet or cell phone. Very comfy to carry. Love it.
